Morning in the Bergamo Plaza

The other day Alice and wandered around on the Bergamo Plaza in downtown Greenville, SC. The 9:30 AM light was perfect and the plaza was at its best.

Artists’ Tools

This was a great display of tools for artist to use to make art. By themselves the tools, no matter how expensive, do make art, the artist  makes the art, jhut like the camera and software do not make photographic art, the user behind the behind the camera and computer or in the darkroom makes the art.

Glass Experiment

This is a project I come back to as th e spirit moves me. I enjoy seeing what happens when things are viewed through a facetted water glass.

Red Umbrella

Tilt Blue

This image started as a blown over picnic table with its umbrella which I felt was a good start for an interesting image.

Why ?

AS you probably know, I enjoy looking down occasionally find the debris there has both great details and lager patterns. The color seems to interfere with the overall criss-cross patterns of the image, so I prefer the black and white image.

Watch Where You Are Going

As a kid I was told to “Watch where you are going” and I did and still do. Besides not tripping, I always seem to find things that interest me.

Relateds

I was looking through some fairly recent images and  was drawn to the red umbrella and a kind of related shape with the flower.

Looking Out and Looking In

I enjoy looking both out from and into places through their windows. The patterns and colors are particularly interesting and subtle.

Potato Sack

As I entered the supermarket I was greeted by a stack of potato sacks with glorious patterns and colors.

Fall Hosta Leafs

My original intent of this blog was to make myself an assignment to make picture a day and post it. That soon went by the wayside and now I am trying to do that again, at least a little bit. Fall is a great time and the spent hosts leafs are enchanting to me.

The Right Mistake

When I was in college our Band Director, Hunter Wiley,  euphonium player for the New York Philharmonic, would comment on a wrong note which actually would sound better than the right note. So, I do not discard images which are serendipitous “,mistakes”..

Rainy Day Wall

This wall is an ideal location for rainy day shooting. The relatively subtle colors and textures seem to be strengthened by the wetness. The shapes of the doors and windows are also interesting for thier patterns.

Pecos National Historical Park

Designs

Color

There are lots of things that are so pleasing in color because of their colors and interacting patterns as well as surroundings. .

Farm Views

If we get far enough out of town the rewards of older working farms are great. I enjoy the colors of some of the subjects as well as the farm implements.

Fall Is Not Far Away

For those of us who are suffering from the heat, Fall is not far away .

Shadows and Colors

Through Rainy Glass

Rain on windows and windshields makes a filtered effect as the it splatters and drips down the glass forming a wonderful scrim.
